jeeze u guys suck rly. just answer the damn question u can post go find the other post but can't simply answer the question.
Grind is much better IMO.
Tradeskilling in EQ2 is a bit more intensive then Synthing in FFXI
Getting money is pretty much the same as FFXI, drops usually net the most profit. However you tend to get many valuable drops when you go out to exp in a party.
All in all EQ2 is favored by me more atm.... but that could be because I'm a bit burned out when it comes to FFXI
best thing for you to do is ask a friend to let you play a character play for 15 lvls then see from there if you want to buy the game for your self
